Salvamento de Bracara Augusta. Núcleos Arqueológicos da Rua do Raio e Rua Dr. G...

No local onde hoje se encontra atualmente o edifício comercial Liberdade Street Fashion (LSF), entre dezembro de 2007 e maio de 2009, foi identificado um amplo espaço de enterramento de cronologia romana e tardo-antiga em clara associação com a Via XVII (Apêndice 1). Os trabalhos arqueológicos permitiram a recuperação de dois importantes núcleos de vestígios em excelente estado de conservação, cuja singularidad...

Bone diagenesis in Via XVII inhumations (Bracara Augusta): Identification of ta...

Bone decomposition in archaeological contexts is differential and dependent on geological and taphonomic variables. The present work analyses evidences of skeletal diagenesis in 25 inhumations (3rd-4th to 5th-7th centuries) from the Via XVII necropolis of Bracara Augusta (Braga, Portugal). Bracara Augusta is located in the Minho region, Northwest Portugal. Minho’s granitic soils are characterized by high acidit...

Biological Profile Estimation Based on Footprints and Shoeprints from Bracara A...

Biological profile estimation is an important task of biological and forensic anthropologists. This includes sex, age, ancestry, and body morphology. In bioarchaeology, the biological profile is useful to analyze paleodemography, secular trends, paleopathology, and genetic processes, for example. Foot dimensions, footprints, and shoeprints can vary according to stature, age, sex, and body weight. The objective ...

Dental and oral nonmetric traits in a Coimbra reference sample: testing intrasa...

A reference sample of dental and oral nonmetric traits should represent its biological population from which it stems. The presence of individuals born at different times, different regions, and separate countries in the Coimbra-identified cranial collections provides the test of whether this sample reflects the biological continuity of this Portuguese sample among the late modern (early industrialization, nine...

Glossário de morfologia dentária - Tradução para Português da terminologia usad...

A tradução de termos cientí!cos é necessária para a adequação da “linguagem de especialidade” de cada área cientí!ca a cada idioma. Para que a língua portuguesa possa ser usada em comunicação cientí!ca e internacional (em países de língua o!cial portuguesa e em territórios onde essa língua está amplamente difundida), é necessário encontrar harmonização linguística, através de glossários relativos a cada área ci...

Fluctuating asymmetry in dental and mandibular nonmetric traits as evidence for...

Fluctuating asymmetry, often considered a measure of developmental instability, was studied in the dental morphological traits of 600 individuals from among the poorest sectors of society in 19th-20th century Portugal. The aims are to identify and interpret any differences between: (1) males and females, and (2) patterns of distribution among teeth with different odontogenic timings, to assess if any sex bias e...

On the applicability of the assessment of dental tooth wear for the study of co...

Teeth are a very important resource in Biological Anthropology. One of their many uses is the evaluation of dental wear, which can document both masticatory and non-masticatory behavior. The objectives of this work are to 1) present a protocol for scoring evidence of non-masticatory activity applicable to all kinds of contexts (including commingled collective burials), 2) suggest interpretation tools, and 3) us...
